Demand for the Warriors Intensifies
Masai Who are the Warriors? There must be some word! I want them all! I want ALL the Warriors! I want them alive, if possible. If not, wasted! But I want them. Send the word!
[addressing the Gramercy Riffs; no reply; no reply]
Mercy Yeah, that's right, Warriors. Just keep walkin'. Real tough muthas, ain't ya? You guys don't show me much. Why don't you dickheads just walk all the way back home, huh?
D.J. Good news, Boppers: The big alert has been called off. It turns out that the early reports were wrong, all wrong. Now for that group out there that had such a hard time getting home, sorry about that. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song.
[last lines; the Warriors theme song, "In the City" plays]

Unity and Strength Among Gangs
Cyrus Can you count, suckers? I say, the future is ours... if you can count!
[yelling]
Gang Members Go on man! We're with you Cyrus!
Cyrus Now, look what we have here before us. We got the Saracens sitting next to the Jones Street Boys. We've got the Moonrunners right by the Van Cortlandt Rangers. Nobody is wasting nobody. That... is a miracle. And miracles is the way things ought to be. You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?
Gang Members Yeah.
Cyrus Can you dig it?
Gang Members Yeah!
Cyrus Can you dig it!?
Gang Members YEAH!
Cyrus Now, here's the sum total: One gang could run this city! One gang. Nothing would move without us allowing it to happen. We could tax the crime syndicates, the police, because WE got the streets, suckers! Can you dig it?
Gang Members YEAH!
[cheering]
Cyrus The problem in the past has been the man turning us against one another. We have been unable to see the truth, because we have been fighting for ten square feet of ground, our turf, our little piece of turf. That's crap, brothers! The turf is ours by right, because it's our turn. All we have to do is keep up the general truce. We take over one borough at a time. Secure our territory... secure our turf... because it's all our turf!

The Complexity of Nightlife Memories
Mercy Friday nights are good. Saturday nights are better.
Swan I bet you can't even remember who you get on Friday and Saturday night... you probably don't remember what they look like...
Mercy Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't... who gives a damn?

Tension Among The Warriors Escalates
Cochise We gotta hold ourselves together. We got to. See man, if we go to pieces, someone out there is gonna get us.
Rembrandt They think we shot Cyrus.
[about The Lizzies]
Vermin What are you talking about? I don't get it.
Rembrandt They think we shot Cyrus. Every gang in the city must be looking for us!
Cochise Holy shit!
Rembrandt We're not gonna be able to make it back!
Vermin We're gonna make it back. We came this far and we're gonna go the rest of the way.

Deciding the Next Move Home
Cowboy Okay, what are we gonna do now?
Swan We're going back.
Vermin You mind tellin us how? Fuckin Coney Island must be 50 to 100 miles from here!
Swan It's the only choice we got.
Cochise Yeah, real simple. Except that every cop in this city is lookin to bust our heads.
Swan We got somethin else to think about.
Vermin Yeah, what?
Snow The truce. Is it still on?
Vermin If it ain't, we're gonna have to bop our way back!
Cowboy Shit, I wish we was packed.
Swan If this truce is off, anything could hit us between here and that train. If you get separated, make it to the platform at Union Square. That's where we change trains.
Ajax I only got one question. Who named you leader? I got as much right to take over as you.
Fox It was Cleon's choice; Swan's war chief.
Ajax Well, right about now, Cleon's most likely got a nightstick shoved halfway up his ass! Shit. I bet you can't even find the subway.
[laughs]
Swan Maybe we ought to talk about this later, huh?
Ajax Well, what's wrong with right now? I wanna be Warlord.
Swan Make your move.
Cowboy Hey Ajax, lighten up.
Vermin Hey Big Boy, Swan's war chief.
Cochise We better stick together.

Upholding the Truce and Seeking Truth
Cleon It's still on and we're goin'. Cyrus sent an emissary this afternoon to make sure. Now, Cyrus don't want anybody packed and he don't want anybody flexing any muscle. So, I gave him my word that the Warriors would uphold the truce. Now everybody says that Cyrus is the one and only. I think we better go have a look for ourself.
